Gamezine.co.uk outlines how you can activate a third-person view in the
Windows edition of Mirror's Edge, in case that seems like a more
appealing way to experience the acrobatic action in DICE's parkour game.
Implementation is as simple as adding a config file line reading
"Bindings=(Name="F4",Command="FreeFlightCamera",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)."
A video on
the YouTube shows the ass-cam in action, describing its limitations. Thanks
